Apache Tiswin

This is my take on an old southwest Indian beer recipe. This may be the first beer I make that I think will suck even before I make it!!!!!! But trying a beer with Flaked Maize as the principal grain is an interesting problem. Might add some Gambrinus Honey Malt to help out on flavor.
